Answer:

f(1/2)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this function:

f(x)=ax+b

We need to find the value of:

f(1/2)

This is really simple because the problem give us the following data:

f(3)=5\\\\and\\\\f(-2)=-5

Using this data we can write a 2x2 system of equations like this:

Let:

f(3)=5=a(3)+b\\\\\rightarrow3a+b=5\hspace{10}(1)

and

f(-2)=5=a(-2)+b\\\\\rightarrow-2a+b=-5\hspace{10}(2)

Our system will be:

3a+b=5\hspace{28}(1)\\-2a+b=-5\hspace{10}(2)

We can solve this system using different methods, however I will use elimination method because I believe it is really simple. So:

(1)-(2)\\\\5-(-5)=3a-(-2a)+b-b\\\\10=5a\\\\Solving\hspace{3}for\hspace{3}a\\\\a=\frac{10}{5} =2

Replacing a into (1)

3(2)+b=5\\\\6+b=5\\\\Solving\hspace{3}for\hspace{3}b\\\\b=5-6=-1

Now we found the values of a and b, our function is given by:

f(x)=2x-1

Let's verify it:

f(3)=2(3)-1=6-1=5

f(-2)=2(-2)-1=-4-1=-5

As you can see the function satisfies the data provided by the problem. So we can conclude that it is correct.

Finally, let's find f(x) for x=1/2 :

f(1/2)=2(\frac{1}{2} )-1=\frac{2}{2} -1=1-1=0

Hence:

f(1/2)=0

the unit digitsof a two numberis 1 less than twice the ten digit. if the sum of tje digits is 9, find the number.
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Are you sure this is written correctly? Any number whose digits add to 9 is divisible by 9.  For a 2 digit number then, your choices are
18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, and 81.  None of these has the property that for the 2 digit number AB that B=2A-1.  Solving your question algebraically is possible but you get fractional digits.

Help me someone:((!!!!!
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

2L + 3S = 83

 

4L + 8S = 197

 

Multiplies the top equation by -2.

-4L + -6S = -166

 

4l  + 8S = 197

 

 

Adding them together...

 

2S = 31

 

S = 31/2 = 15.5

 

Plugging into the first equation:

 

 2L + 3S = 83

 

 2L + 3(15.5) = 83

 

2L + 46.5 = 83

 

2L = 83 - 46.5

 

2L = 36.5

 

L = 36.5/2 = 18.25

 

check:

 

2L + 3S = 2(18.25) + 3(15.5) = 36.5 + 46.5 = 83

 

4L + 8S = 4(18.25) + 8(15.5) = 73 + 124 = 197

 

The Large box weighs 18.25

The small box weighs 15.5

Determine the constant of variation for the direct variation given. Type a numerical answer in the space provided.
Andreyy89

Answer:

B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the constant of variation for the direct variation given.

(0, 0), (3, 12), (9, 36)

A. 3

B. 4

C.12

Direct variation is given by:

y = kx

Where,

k = constant of variation

(3, 12)

x = 3; y = 12

y = kx

12 = k*3

12 = 3k

k = 12 / 3

k = 4

(9, 36)

x = 9; y = 36

y = kx

36 = k * 9

36 = 9k

k = 36 / 9

= 4

k = 4

Constant of the variation = 4
